Festival Review: Limmy--That's Your Lot: The Book Tour *****

Naw, he’s awesome. Limmy’s Glaswegian patter is hilarious.
He’s the kind of guy you want to meet in a pub, and you’ll spend the whole
night crying with laughter. He’s got the delivery and comedic storytelling
capacity of a ninja, a Glaswegian, funny ninja. Like Billy Connolly, when Limmy
tells us a story we’re immediately there. We’re with him in the situations: his
characterisations are so ‘gettable’ (if that’s a word!).

He does stuff from his
sketch shows, taking requests for characters with a ‘So who dae yez wan tae
hear?’. He read from his new book – which I’m going to buy, and then buy more
copies to give to people for Christmas – and then he laid himself completely in
our mercy for a Q&A. Genius. A structure that gave us all what we went to
see him for—and more.
